As a result, a tender, genuine affection blossomed between them, softly unfolding like the petals of a delicate flower, nurturing the growing bond they shared.

Eve's blood seeped into the lotus, triggering a subtle shift as it began to unfurl ever so slightly. Her face paled, drained of color from the loss of blood, and she looked as if she desperately needed to rest.

Similar to Rio, she placed her hand on the lotus, allowing her mana to flow into it. The lotus responded, blooming a little further, but not quite enough.

Exhausted from the effort and having expended 90% of her mana, She grasped Rio's hand, her grip strong but soft, and led him inside the wondrous forest realm.

Without resistance, he allowed her to take his hand and lead him into the serene embrace of the wondrous forest realm as they disappeared from the death realm.

Once inside the wonderous forest realm, Eve vanished behind the spot where she usually sat, only to reemerge a minute later. In her hand, she held a crimson, glowing fruit, which she presented to Rio.

"Consuming this fruit will help you recover faster, It aids in the production of blood and energy," she explained.

After she spoke, Rio noticed that she had also taken a bite of the same fruit. Her luscious lips tenderly brushed against the delicate flesh of the fruit, their contact creating an alluring dance of temptation. The glistening juices clung to her plumpy lips, leaving Rio captivated by the seductive scene unfolding before him.

The boy felt himself becoming mesmerized by the captivating sight, but he moved his gaze away, focusing his attention on the fruit clasped in his own hand.

As Rio took a bite of the fruit, he felt a burst of warmth and energy surging through his body. The sweet nectar of the fruit was like a powerful elixir, invigorating him from within. His eyes met the girl's, and she spoke softly, "We should meditate or rest until our bodies digest this fruit properly."

He nodded in agreement, feeling the need to give his body time to absorb the potent energy coursing through him. He closed his eyes and focused on his breathing, allowing the warm energy to permeate every cell of his being.

After a few hours, the duo opened their eyes and resumed their task of accelerating the growth of the Samsara Lotus.

Despite Rio's impatience, their progress toward obtaining the matured Samsara Lotus was not as swift as he had hoped.

The duo found themselves returning to the lotus repeatedly, slicing the tips of their fingers and offering their blood along with their mana to hasten its growth. This became a recurring ritual, with Rio and Eve spending countless hours recuperating and pouring their blood into the golden flower.

Rio knew he could not ask Eve to aid him with this task, not wanting to put her in danger or waste her precious blood on his personal matters.

But whenever he approached her with his request, she fiercely shut him up with a cold gaze. Her eyes burned with a vicious glint to reject the boy's idea, even if it meant sacrificing her blood to aid him.

Feeling a mixture of gratitude and guilt, Rio turned away from her, resuming his task with renewed resolve. He knew that he could not afford to be distracted, not when the stakes were so high.

Over the course of twenty-four days, the golden lotus gradually unfurled its petals, revealing its radiant beauty. With the lotus now in full bloom, Eve carefully cast a spell to transport it into the wondrous forest realm.

Once inside, the lotus found a new home in a serene pond situated in front of Eve's abode. Rio had set up his camp nearby, and now the two of them lounged on the sprawling roots of a nearby tree, gazing at the mesmerizing lotus that they had worked so hard to acquire.

The ethereal Samsara Lotus radiated otherworldly energy, its vibrant petals shimmering with celestial light. This mythical-level treasure, a symbol of resurrection and divine intervention, had come into their possession through unwavering perseverance and resolve.

Radiating a soothing and healing aura, the lotus served as a testament to their deepening bond, forged through the mutual sacrifice of their blood. Simultaneously, it showcased the miraculous powers it possessed to protect and regenerate life.

"I can create a portal for you to return home if you want," Eve said softly, turning to meet his gaze.

These days, the elven beauty had been talking to Rio more gently, although she was still somewhat upset with him for convincing her not to use her blood. She didn't call him 'Partner' very often, as she found herself becoming emotional when they spent time together.

Undoubtedly, she was the most emotional girl he had ever met, yet she skillfully concealed her sensitive side behind her cheerful demeanor. However, her deep feelings and emotions frequently surfaced, revealing this tender aspect of her beautiful character.

"What about the Monarch beast?" Rio inquired.

"I figured you'd be keen to get back to your wives, so I thought maybe you wouldn't want to give the trial a shot," she replied with a subdued cheerfulness.

"Since I'm already here, I might as well try the trial, especially when I have you by my side," Rio responded casually.

"True, I'll be right there with you," Eve assured him.

"Do you know anything about this trial?" The boy asked with a questioning gaze.

"It's a dream realm. You'll face illusions that will test your willpower and the strength of your soul," Eve explained.

"Will it be dangerous?" Rio asked.

"I won't let anything happen to my partner. Even if it means going against the goddess herself," She said, offering him a tender smile.

"Thank you," Rio said softly, nodding in understanding.
